It is estimated that the wife of Suleiman the Magnificent, one of the Ottoman Empire’s most famous figures, was also brought to Istanbul as a result of these raids. A journey stretching from being a European peasant girl to becoming the wife of the Sultan.
Who do we contact for the reparations for the slavery? Oh, sorry, we’re white, so we’re not entitled. We can be only the guilty ones.
I think It’d make more sense to use time-appropriate borders rather than modern for this map.
Unfortunately, the people of the Western Ukraine were enslaved by almost everyone around them, including the Slavs, because of their late adoption of Christianity.
Slavs were traded through the Haseatic League, Venice, Pragua, the Balkans, Constantinople and even Spain.
Source? How much of this is because of differences in discovered/recorded/translated/digitised/publicly available records vs. actual differences in frequency?
why it was that concentrated in galicia/ western ukraine
Nice touch in highlighting the rivers
Despite all of this many european powers used crimean tatars for there own benefits.

Uprising allied with the crimen tatar against poland.
Poles during the great deluge used the tatars to combat the Swedes. I think so german diplomat said how just like how the finns are essential for the Swedish army the tatars were essential for the polish army.
Also russia during the great northern war enslaved thousands of finnish civilians and sold them to the tatars to pay for there army
ah even my dear city of Debrecen (where the Debreziner sausages are from!) is on the map… It was such an absurdity that many people were forced to be **slaves on galleys,** folks who never ever saw sea before (**closest sea is 700 km** from there…)
“Slave raids” in Slavic nations where SLAVS lived. 🤔
Ottoman sponsored slavery of Europeans was widespread, from this example to the Barbary slavers who would raid all the way up to Iceland and lasted for hundreds of years into the 1830s.
Even within Poland and the Czech Republic? Did the Ottoman army ever reach there? How was this possible?
The word for slave (servus in latin) was replaced by some variant of ‘slav’ in most west European and some Middle Eastern languages in the earlier middle ages, as most slaves were slavs (Wends, Sorbs, Czechs, Croats, Slovenes, Slovaks, Ukrainians, Russians …), traded by Scandinavians, Bulgars, Avars and, later, Tatars.

Europeans were constant victims of slavery, which stopped only because Europe rise to power. Later it was Europe and USA who ended slavery in the world. Without them, it would be standard practice even now.
This map does not show the scale of a raid so its not complete information.
For example the raid to Moscow was a major event in 1571 but its just a small dot on the map while many smaller events are shown larger just because there were multiple of them
